After a 5-month break due to the COVID-19 situation, several teams refused to participate on the final match day and any postseason competition. Moussa Konaté, president of Cercle Olympique de Bamako was reported to say "We objectively believe that Femafoot does not have the means to enforce the sanitary measures decreed by the Scientific Committee (...) Besides, this championship is marred by irregularities due to the lack of independent commissions. Playing the championship without these commissions, it's like playing a match without the referee." Djoliba AC, Mamahira AC, AS Avenir, JS Centre Salif Keita, CS Duguwolofila, AS Bamako and Cercle Olympique de Bamako were later fined 20,000 CFA francs each for refusing to play their final regular season matches.


2019–20 Malian Première Division, Overview

Stade Malien won their first three games (1-0 and 3-0 against Yeelen, 1-0 against AS Real) and thus became champions with a game to spare. Yeelen Olympique beat AS Real Bamako 2-1 and 1-0 to secure second place and a berth in the 2020-21 CAF Confederation Cup in only their first season in the Premiere Division.
